Rome ceased to be an Empire in the 5th century A.D. The barbarian attacks and the internal conflict brought down the ancient Roman power. However, their cultural legacy is enormous.

In the Iberian Peninsula people continued to speak Latin after the fall of Rome. Latin gradually converted into Castellano, Catalan, Portuguese, Galician, etc.

In many cities of the Iberian Peninsula we can find ruins of this great empire.

The Basque Country was also invaded by the Romans but to a less degree than in the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. This enabled the Basque language to survive, the only language of the Peninsular which does not come from Latin.

In this activity you can evaluate the work of your classmates and reflect on what you have learnt.

The Roman society was very different from ours. Organize a small debate in class to discuss the Roman society. Note you’re your reflexions on the digital board. To guide the debate you can answer these questions:

Do you think that Rome brought any benefit to the territories it conquered? Which benefits?
Do you think that the Romans treated women correctly? Why?
What’s your opinion about the slaves?
Do you think that the Roman conquest of Hispania, more than 2.000 years ago influenced us in any way?
Can you see any similarities between Roman society and society today?
How did the Romans live? What were their customs? Are there any likenesses to our customs nowadays?
